Eleva-Strum School District

The Eleva-Strum School District serves about 664 students across three schools: Eleva-Strum Elementary (PK–5, 325 students), Eleva-Strum High (9–12, 195 students), and Eleva-Strum Middle (6–8, 144 students). The district overall ranks 308 of 432 in Wisconsin, placing it in the 29th percentile with 1 star, but the individual school ratings tell a different story: Elementary earned 3 stars, while Middle and High each earned 2 stars.

Elementary stands out as the district's strongest school. Its chronic absenteeism is just 6.2% — well below the district's 9.8% and the state's 17.3% — and its fourth graders beat the state in ELA (60.98% vs. 53.87%), math (63.41% vs. 52.87%), social studies (73.17% vs. 65.51%), and science (63.41% vs. 53.46%). Middle is a mixed picture: its eighth graders outperformed the state in all four subjects, but seventh grade lagged badly, with math at 32.08% against the state's 55.67%. High posts excellent completion numbers — a 98.0% graduation rate and 0.0% dropout rate, both better than state — yet its 2025–2026 proficiency trails the state in every reported subject, including ACT math at 27.5% versus 42.93%.

Attendance is a district-wide strength, with all three schools below the state's 17.3% chronic absenteeism rate. Weak spots cluster in specific grades rather than whole schools: third grade ELA at 39.53%, seventh grade ELA at 39.62%, and seventh grade math at 32.08% are the largest gaps. High spends the most per student ($17,774) and Middle the least ($11,982), but spending and staffing don't line up neatly with results in a district this small.
